1. May Is spay/neuter month!
During the month of May get
HUGE savings when you spay or
neuter your pet!
2. What are the benefits of neutering my pet:
• Reduces or eliminates risk of spraying and marking
• Less desire to roam, therefore less likely to be
injured in fights or auto accidents
• Risk of testicular cancer is eliminated, and
decreases incidence of prostate disease
• Reduces number of unwanted
cats/kittens/dogs/puppies
• Decreases aggressive behavior, including dog bites
• Helps dogs and cats live longer, healthier lives
3. What are the benefits of spaying my pet:
• No heat cycles, therefore males will not be attracted
• Less desire to roam
• Risk of mammary gland tumors, ovarian and/or
uterine cancer is reduced or eliminated, especially if
done before the first heat cycle
• Reduces number of unwanted
cats/kittens/dogs/puppies
• Helps dogs and cats live longer, healthier lives
4. Top 3 Reasons to Spay & Neuter:
Reason #1:
• It helps to reduce companion animal overpopulation.
Most countries have a surplus of companion animals and
are forced to euthanize or disregard their great suffering.
The surplus is in the millions in the United States. Cats
are 45 times as prolific, and dogs 15 times as prolific, as
humans. They do not need our help to expand their
numbers; they need our help to reduce their numbers
until there are good homes for them all.
Our owner and their
father abandoned us in
our time of need. Now
the streets are our
home….
5. Top 3 Reasons to Spay & Neuter:
Reason #2
• Sterilization of your cat or dog will increase his/her chance
of a longer and healthier life. Altering your canine friend will
increase his life an average of 1 to 3 years, felines, 3 to 5
years. Altered animals have a very low to no risk of
mammary gland tumors/cancer, prostate cancer, perianal
tumors, pyometria, and uterine, ovarian and testicular
cancers.

6. Top 3 Reasons to Spay & Neuter:
Reason #3
• Sterilizing your cat/dog makes him/her a better pet,
reducing his/her urge to roam and decreasing the risk of
contracting diseases or getting hurt as they roam.
Surveys indicate that as many as 85% of dogs hit by
cars are unaltered. Intact male cats living outside have
been shown to live on average less than two years.
Feline Immunodeficiency Syndrome is spread by bites
and intact cats fight a great deal more than altered cats
Please wake up! I just
wanted to take you to
the park for our 1st
date…
7. Overpopulation risks:
• Increases disease/parasite transmission from
roaming dogs & cats that are not vaccinated
• Stray animals are known to cause property damage
in to the thousands from destruction of your
property to injuring you or your pet
• The streets are filled with unwanted pets that often
end up in bad situations and suffer.
Don’t worry, I
won’t let that
happen to you…
8. Additional Benefits:
• “Your community will also benefit. Unwanted animals are becoming
a very real concern in many places. Stray animals can easily
become a public nuisance, soiling parks and streets, ruining
shrubbery, frightening children and elderly people, creating noise
and other disturbances, causing automobile accidents, and
sometimes even killing livestock or other pets.”
- The American Veterinary Medical Association
• “The capture, impoundment and eventual destruction of unwanted
animals costs taxpayers and private humanitarian agencies over a
billion dollars each year. As a potential source of rabies and other
less serious diseases, they can be a public health hazard.”
- The American Veterinary Medical Association
• These next few slides show you the impact “unwanted” animals play
on a county by county level. This shows euthanasia rates and cost
to the county
12. Spaying & Neutering
Saves You Money! How…
• Litters of kittens/puppies can cost you upwards
of $500.00 by the time they are old enough to
wean just for food, vaccines, and routine
medications!
• If your female requires a c-section that is an
average of $1,000.00 - $1,500.00!
• Males dogs are 75% more likely to roam and
fight which can cost $300.00 to thousands of
dollars in laceration repairs and injuries
sustained from running at large!
13. Spay/Neuter because adoptions
are down in numbers…
• Due to the economy, shelters and
breeders are reporting a decrease in
adoptions & sales. This creates a huge
burden on the shelters & rescues!
